Summary
This study estimates nuclear reaction probabilities in accelerators (8-20 MeV) and analyzes photoneutron production in tungsten. It details secondary nuclear processes induced by these photoneutrons.
Area of Science:
- Nuclear Physics
- Accelerator Science
Context:
- Accelerators operating at 8-20 MeV
- Tungsten sheets (6 mm thickness)
Purpose:
- Outline primary nuclear reactions and estimate probabilities
- Discuss expected photoneutron rates and secondary processes
Summary:
- Estimates probabilities of nuclear reactions in accelerators within the 8-20 MeV range.
- Analyzes photoneutron rates in a 6 mm tungsten sheet for varying threshold energies.
- Investigates secondary nuclear processes initiated by photoneutrons.
Impact:
- Provides insights into nuclear interactions relevant to accelerator applications.
- Informs the design and safety considerations for experiments involving high-energy accelerators and tungsten.
- Contributes to understanding photoneutron-induced secondary reactions.
